BUG-2: qwen3 timeout 60s → 3s + 5-failure circuit breaker
65f12666276fc3bc18d3ce6e67553ac5a301ca01 · 2026-05-23 11:53:13 -0700 · Steve Abrams
src/marketplace/ollama.js was set to a 60_000ms AbortSignal.timeout per
call. The Mac1 default endpoint (http://192.168.1.133:11434) is on the
LAN — unreachable from Kamatera prod — so every call stalled a request
worker for a full minute before the caller's mock-fallback fired.
Evidence: 200+ consecutive `qwen3 unreachable` entries in
logs/pm2.err.log on 2026-05-13, each ≈ 60s wall-time.
Two changes:
1. DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS reduced to 3_000ms (overridable via OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS
env). The round-trip to a reachable Ollama is well under 3s; if it
isn't, the caller's mock-fallback is already complete and well-formed
so a fast-fail is strictly better than a slow-fail.
2. In-process circuit breaker — after 5 consecutive failures, the
breaker opens for 60s and every subsequent call throws immediately
without hitting the network. After 60s the next call probes
(half-open behavior); success resets the counter.
Net effect on the May-13 incident shape: instead of stalling 200 workers
× 60s = 200 worker-minutes on dead-LAN calls, the first 5 calls fail in
3s each (15s total), then the breaker opens and the remaining 195 calls
return instantly with the mock fallback. Restore time = 60s.
